🥩 The connection between our schools and community extends all the way to the lunch tray.

Through our Child Nutrition Program, Upshur County Schools recently procured 38 forty-pound cases of ground beef from Shorts Family Farm, bringing locally sourced food directly into our cafeterias. Partnerships like these support local agriculture, strengthen our local economy, and provide students with quality meals made possible by the people who call Upshur County home.

🍎🔥 B-UMS Annual Fall Harvest Festival 🔥🍎
The smell of fresh apples, the warmth of a crackling fire, and students learning hands-on skills made this year's Fall Harvest Festival a tremendous success!
Buckhannon-Upshur Middle School's annual Fall Harvest Festival brought together students from Mrs. Orr's Home Economics classes and Mr. Ford's Technical Education and Woodworking classes for a memorable learning experience. Over the past weeks, students have been hard at work washing, peeling, cutting, and processing apples in preparation for making homemade apple butter the traditional way, over an open fire in a copper kettle.
This event is much more than making a delicious treat. Students are learning valuable life skills including:
✅ Food preservation techniques and why they are important
✅ Food safety and sanitation practices
✅ Measurement and recipe skills
✅ Teamwork and collaboration
✅ Time management and patience through a lengthy cooking process
✅ The science behind cooking and evaporation
✅ West Virginia agricultural traditions and local heritage
✅ Problem-solving and critical thinking
✅ Responsibility and work ethic
✅ The value of hard work from farm to table
By combining classroom learning with real-world experiences, students gain a deeper appreciation for where their food comes from while preserving traditions that have been passed down through generations.
A special thank you to Mrs. Orr, Mr. Ford, and our students for their hard work and dedication in making this annual tradition possible. Experiences like these help connect learning to life while building memories our students will carry with them for years to come.
At B-UMS, we're United for Excellence and committed to providing meaningful learning experiences for Every Student, Every Day. 🍎❤️

🚌 Bus Stop Safety Is a Shared Responsibility 🛑

Every school day, our students rely on families, bus operators, and motorists working together to ensure a safe trip to and from school. Bus stops are important places where patience and attention matter.

Drivers: When a school bus has its stop arm extended and red warning lights flashing, West Virginia law requires you to stop and remain stopped until the bus resumes motion, the driver signals you to proceed, or the warning lights are turned off.

Violating this law carries serious consequences:

⚠️ First offense: $500-$1,000 fine, possible jail time, and a 60-day license suspension.
⚠️ Second offense: $1,000-$1,500 fine, possible jail time, and a 180-day license suspension.
⚠️ Third or subsequent offense: $2,000 fine, jail time, and a one-year license suspension.

A little extra patience behind the wheel helps keep school transportation running safely and smoothly for everyone. Thank you for doing your part and stopping for the bus. 💛🚌
